Uncle George,
Thank you for sharing your great sense of humor with us and allowing us the opportunity to know you. You were always welcoming and wanting to share your love of life and conversation with everyone you touched. When I think of you, I can’t help but think of all of the tricks and pranks you were part of over the years, and I am sure I was only privy to a few. You always made me smile. You will be truly missed by many good friends and family. Only the good die young!
Say hi to Bill!

Auntie Karen, Jenny, Cindy, Joan & George,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We hope all of the kind remembrances of George come gushing back to you and that your heart overflows with happiness about those memories. Always remember the love he had for you.
Take care, Karen, Wally & Bernie
